Application filed February 21, 191'?. Serial No. 150,077. p

To allfwwmmayconcem:` Y l H f Be it known that I, IsIDoR ABRAMs, a citizen of the United States, and resident of N ew York, borough of' Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York,

have :invented ar certain new and useful .front of their store and 1n most cases are y permit the coin to drop freely into the box.

The bars are also inclined so that a coin dropped on top will readily slide down into the box, instead of being retained on top. The advantage of yusing a grating instead of a slot for depositing the coin, is that in most cases purchasers of newspapers would not take the trouble of depositing the coin in the slot, Vwhile with the grating7 all thatv they have to do is to drop the coin on top of the grating and the coin will slide into the box.' Another advantage of my device is that the box serves as a cover for the newspapers to protect them in rainy weather. A further advantage of my device is, that it is simple and inexpensive.

Other features of my device will be api parent from the detailed description and the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which similar numerals refer to similar parts in all the views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a newspaper stand showing my device in position; Fig. 2. is a section taken on line 2m?. of Fig. l; Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.; Fig. 4 is a portion of a section taken r on line .L-t of Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is a portion of a section taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 3;

and Fig. 6 is a section taken online 6-6 of Fig. 1 but showing a modified method of locking the coin box to the stand.

Referring to the drawing, the stand yconsists of the sides l, the back 2 and the boards 3 and 4l, the board 3 generally serving as a brace and the board el serving as a shelf upon which the newspapers are deposited. The stand is preferably made of wood. A slat 5 is generally fixed to the back 2 as shown, and is lused to hold the newspapers in a vertical position. The coin box 6 is provided with legsl 7 which are adapted to rest on the shelf Lland the box is thereby supported. The bars 8 preferably inclined as shown, are fixed near the top vof the box G forming a grating which will permit the dropping ofcoins into` the box but will prevent any one from getting them. A slot 9 is provided in one side of the box 6, which permits the removal of the coins from the box 6, but is inaccessiblewhen lthe box 6 is in positio11,since the sidev of the box 6 abuts against the side 1 of the stand. The box v6 is fixed in position by'means of the bar 10, which is attached to the bottom of the box while its projecting end passes through a `corresponding slotin the back 2 of the stand and is then locked by means of the lock 13 passing through the hole 11 in the bar 10. In order to reinforce the slot in the back 2, I provide the metal plate 12, having a slot therein to receive the projecting end of the bar 10, and fixed to the back 9..

A modified method of locking the coin box 6 in position is shown in Fig. 6. Instead of having the bar 10, I use a bar 14 having one end bent over as shown at 15 and the other end is provided with a hole 16 for receiving a lock. A slot is provided in each of the sides l of the stand, and in the side of the box 6 to permit the passing of the bar 14 therethrough. The bar 14 also passes through the slot 9. A reinforcing plate 17 for the slot in the side 1 is also pro vided. It will be evident from Fig. 6 that when the bar let is in the position shown, the coin box 6 will be locked with the stand.

In the use of my device, some of the newspapers are kept on the shelf a and others are displayed in a vertical position and are held by the bar 5. The gratings 8 on the top of the box 6 are left exposed so that a purchaser' may drop his coinV thereon. It will be evident that the box 6 also serves as .thereon to fall Withinithe bonybiitA to prevent the lellloval o f- ,the Vcoins therethrough, vand meansfor looking Seid boato the eternel-Jr A,.f.2.A-Udevioe ofsthei Character described, eomprenga Stand adapted: to-hold newspapers Lorgsimilar` articles, a coin boxI .removably L.foiled to, Said stand, aeratngambie tor o ISaid, boX Y oompreile flat bare placed inanonelried position andadapted to. 15er.- mit c ooi-11s dropped, thereonrto Slide into; `the looX'biit toprevent the removal otheeone therethrough,and means for locking" said box to the sta'nd.
